Our Academic partners have outstanding publication records and are dedicated in thehighest quality education. The rationale of the partners is a shared ambition to integrate their current programmes at international level. We have strong synergy since we all focus on vines to wine (molecular, genomic, process and consumption approaches). We all operate in the context of climate change and sustainable viti-viniculture, including quality and biodiversity comprehension/mechanisms and implications. We all work for a future integrated oenology and viticulture to combine experimental and fundamental research.
